What is Surf and Turf?
The concept of 'surf and turf' is reported to have originated in the US as a dining trend in the mid-20th century. It refers to a dish that combines both seafood (surf) and meat (turf) in a single meal. While the idea of pairing seafood and meat together has been around for centuries in various forms, the modern surf and turf combination gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. The surf and turf burger is a creative twist on this classic concept.
Here's our simple recipe for you to enjoy!
Ingredients:
Jalapeno in a bowl
Instructions:
  1. Cook the beef patties, prawns and bacon as per the cooking instructions – for extra flavour, we recommend cooking your burgers and bacon on the charcoal grill!
  2. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
  3. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a beef patty.
  4. Top the beef patty with a few slices of tomato and red onion.
  5. Divide the cooked prawns and bacon evenly among the burgers, arranging them on top of the onion slices.
  6. Add the jalapeno, cheese and drizzle on your favourite sauces
  7. Place the top half of the burger bun on top and press down gently to hold everything together.
  8. Serve your surf and turf burgers with your favourite side dishes, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or nachos!
